How many short isosceles triangles are needed to build one great Icosahedron?

According to some definitions an icosahedron is considered a Platonic solid so that each of its faces is an equilateral triangle. You would, therefore need three coplanar isosceles triangles to make each face of the icosahedron. Since there are 20 faces in an icosahedron, you would need 60 such triangles.

What are the uses of quadrilaterals in daily life?
From ancient times, properties of quadrilaterals have been used especially in art, design and architecture. Diagonal of a rectangle divides it into two congruent triangles and the idea of congruency especially in triangles had been used by Egyptians to build The Great Pyramids of Giza!!!!! The idea of congruency of triangles initially from diagonal of quadrilaterals also helped Leonardo Da Vinci to paint the world famous 'Monalisa'!!!!! So, what other wonders do you want from quadrilaterals????!!!????
If you have 6 identical matches and you have to build 4 identical triangles The length of any triangle side must be equal to 1 match How would you do it?
You've got to build a 3 dimensional triangle. Lay the first three matches flat on the table touching one another in the shape of a triangle, then put the remaining three matches at each of the corners of the original three matches so that the second set of three meet together at the apex above the original three matches. Visually, it would take the shape of a pyramid. That will give you four equal triangles.
How was an inclined plane used to build the pyramids?
It was used by pushing the blocks up to the spot they needed. It helped make it easier then carrying it to the top
How many equilateral triangles are needed to build one great Icosahedron?
20
How many tall isosceles are needed to build one great Icosahedron?
An icosahedron is a shape with 20 triangular faces - not more nor fewer. It can, therefore, have only 20 tall isosceles triangular faces.
How many short isosceles are needed to build one great Icosahedron?
An icosahedron is a shape with 20 triangular faces - not more nor fewer. It can, therefore, have only 20 short isosceles triangular faces.
What did they build instead of pyramids?
Triangles Circles Squares... you know?

How do you build a pyramid from popsicle sticks?
You need to take some Popsicle sticks and glue them to the size of you're square. Then make 4 triangles. Cut some of the sticks down if needed. When the shapes dry, take 1 triangle and glue it vertically on to 1 side of the square. When you glue the triangles, slant them in so they connect in the middle.

Why did the normans have to quickly build castles?
they needed to build them quickly because they needed to look after the land and stone castles take 10 years to build. : ) Hope that helped .
